FOOTBALL Football Manager Discussion

[blake]

Normally we gather everyone on MSN first, then talk about off-topic stuff for a while before someone (normally me) drags it back in the FM direction and then after a while of screwing around and trying to get Hamachi right we get into the real action.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Sorry about not turning up guys, had a cricket match. I think we should have a set time during the week and play then everyweek. Make it the best time for everyone and if one or two people can't play one week, just carry out without them. Would get through the season quite quickly.

I'll give you the good news and then the bad news, Mani. You beat Inter, but you are 16th in the league table...

Don't worry, all of us who were there failed miserably. Only Ollie and Ben are inside the top 10 after 4 games

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Damnit! I thought I was on the brink on some super tactics . Well a win against Inter is vital. I have Inter, Man Utd and Maccaibi Haifa in my CL group :/.

 

[Ollie_H]

Seeing as there is 7 of us now (Me, Jack, Mani, Trev, Ben, Imager, Blake), I think we set a precedent that the game shall only be played when about 60-70% of the people are available, so that's like 5 out of the 7.

I think that's pretty fair, although it still means I always have to be on, apart from like what we did today, where I just left myself in holiday mode whilst the others played when I wasn't there.

 

[Imager36]

Yeah, I agree with you there, Ollie. I enjoyed that yesterday with you guys, even if most of us did awfully

 

[treva]

I really think in future versions FM should work on a way to have multiple hosts in an online game. Would make things like this much easier.

I'm around for the rest of the day playing FM mostly so if you guys are about then I'd be very happy to continue

 

[Ollie_H]

Yep, I should be around from now for the rest of the evening barring unforseen drinking circumstances.

 

[Themer]

I'm able to play if you're going to play. Need to try to get some goals though I've only scored once.

 

[treva]

Just playing FIFA but I'm up for a session.

 

[Ollie_H]

So after another good session of play, got a few more games done. The table of who is where looks like;

3rd - Villareal (Me) - 14 points.
7th - Valencia (Ben) - 12 points.
8th - Almeria (Matt) - 10 points.
10th - Espanyol (Trev) - 8 points.
12th - Sevilla (Blake) - 7 points.
14th - Athletico Madrid (Mani) - 7 points.
16th - Deportivo (Imager) - 5 points.
18th - Getafe (Themer) - 4 points.

All have played 6 games apart from Matt's Almeria, but they played that extra game pre his joining.

 

[Themer]

Yes, propping up the table

Really have to improve we just cannot score atleast my defence has been pretty solid bar two games where I lost 4-0.

 

[Ollie_H]

And I havent lost a game all season in any format

 

[treva]

In the top half of us lot, I'll take that. Sahar is a gun poacher. 6 goals in 6, with 4 goals and an assist in one game we won 5-3 against Tenerife.

 

[Ollie_H]

I will try and get a little head to head table going as well. From who has played who and such. Gimme a few to work it out.
